7/08/25 | Why NY Giants K Graham Gano Will Improve His 2025 Field Goal Percentage. While it might seem like solid NFL kickers are a dime a dozen in the modern game, where most can hit from incredible ranges, it is even harder to find one that can be clutch year in and year out for as long as New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has in his 16-year career. From his days in Carolina to when he joined the Giants in 2020, the 38-year-old leg has seemingly defied the laws of aging to become one of the most reliable options as a grizzled veteran. Daring back to his rookie season with the Washington Redskins in 2009, Gano has appeared in at least 16 games 10 times, including eight consecutive seasons from 2013 to 2022. Most Giants fans won't forget when Gano nailed a ridiculous game winner from 63 yards out, his current career-high, for the Panthers back in the 2018 season when Carolina beat New York in a 33-31 thriller on the road.

6/21/25 | Will Jude McAtamney Challenge Graham Gano for the NY Giants Kicking Job?. The New York Giants have been avoiding it, but the reality at kicker is that they may need to look to the future sooner rather than later. Over the last few seasons, incumbent kicker Graham Gano has dealt with injuries, and at 38 years old, he is unlikely to reverse the clock. Last season, the team picked up Rutgers kicker Jude McAtamney as an undrafted free agent to give the team a look at a possible future replacement for Gano. The Derry, Ireland native got his feet wet in Gaelic football, where he was the “free taker” for the Derry U20's team in the Gaelic Athletic Association before coming to the states and kicking for Chowan University, a division two program in North Carolina for a season.

6/10/25 | New York Giants Training Camp Player Preview: K Graham Gano. For most of his very abundant 16-year NFL career, the name Graham Gano has often been synonymous with two very important words in football—that is, “clutch” and “reliable.” In his first three seasons with the New York Giants, the veteran kicker had been the absolute epitome of those adjectives. In 2023, Gano appeared in just eight contests, his lowest number of games since the 2012 season when he was with the Carolina Panthers, after suffering a knee injury that also dropped his field goal efficiency down to a career-low 64.7%.

3/05/25 | NFL free agency: Here is Giants' salary cap situation — and how they can create more room. With NFL free agency set to begin Monday, let's take a look at the Giants' salary cap situation — and how they can create more room. Can they cut players to free up more cap space? The two likeliest are kicker Graham Gano ($3.1 million savings, $2.5 million dead money) and defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches ($3.6 million savings, $1.4 million dead money). Getting rid of those two would mean $6.7 million in extra cap space. Source: https://www.nj.com/giants/2025/03/nfl-free-agency-... |

12/09/24 | Drew Lock picked to start for Giants vs. Ravens, but there's a catch. The New York Giants suffered another ugly loss in Week 14 at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, as a potential game-tying field goal from Graham Gano was blocked as time expired. Making matters even worse, starting quarterback Drew Lock was sent for X-rays after the game, meaning that New York could once again be forced into making a change at quarterback. There has been no semblance of consistency on offense for the Giants as of late, as they have rotated between Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito, and Lock over the past few weeks after they cut ties with Jones.

12/08/24 | Giants fans celebrate going full tank mode to lose to Saints. The New York Giants suffered a 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, dropping them to 2-11 on the season, although some fans are happy with the loss due to the team staying on track to get a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It looked as if the game would go into overtime, but Giants kicker Graham Gano had his kick blocked with eight seconds left. With the loss, the Giants and Las Vegas Raiders are the two teams left with just two wins on the season. The Raiders hold the edge over the Giants in the draft order at the moment due to having a weaker strength of schedule. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/giants-fans-celebrate-goi... |
